Korean traditional dance performed in hanbok by a Shilla Ensemble dancer

Korean Traditional Dance

Breath and stillness in motion

Korean traditional dance ranges from the serene grace of court dance to the vivid energy of folk and ritual forms. It is an art of controlled breath and subtle weight — the long lines of the hanbok tracing slow, sustained movement that suddenly blooms into spinning, dynamic release.

The Shilla Ensemble brings Korean traditional dance to stages, festivals and schools across the UK, performed live alongside traditional music.
